Where Do the Experts Turn for Help?

To each other! NCAN members are college access experts in their communities. But they also value to opportunity to learn from their peers across the country. That's why NCAN is cultivating Learning Communities; to foster continual peer to peer learning throughout the year.

The Learning Communities provide a variety of ways to connect with colleagues by role (such as advisor, program/executive director) both in person and virtually. This happens at venues such as the NCAN national conference or at Spring Trainings; and on-line via webinars, our website and blog, and through NCAN's Web 2.0 Virtual Learning Community platform..

NCAN currently manages three member-only Virtual Learning Communities. NCAN members are welcome to join any community of interest to them.
